Exposición permanente
Forma la colección permanente un numeroso conjunto de piezas (más de siete mil, sin contar libros, documentos y fotografÃas), de lo que se expone aproximadamente un cincuenta por ciento, que se agrupa en cuatro grandes áreas: BiologÃa marina, CarpinterÃa de ribera, Pesca tradicional e Historia de la navegación. Hagamos una breve descripción de sus contenidos.
BiologÃa marina
El área de BiologÃa marina sirve como una introducción al medio marino, y está formada por una amplia muestra de flora y fauna marinas, que abarca desde los tiempos prehistóricos (representados por numerosos especÃmenes fósiles), hasta los peces vivos que evolucionan en unos pequeños acuarios. Hay una espléndida colección de malacologÃa, con bellos ejemplares que sorprenden por su brillo y colorido, y también crustáceos, corales, esponjas, aves que habitan los acantilados,..
CarpinterÃa de ribera
La CarpinterÃa de ribera puede considerarse uno de los puntos fuertes del Museo, pues hace honor a la importancia secular que tuvo en Luanco, donde se construyeron innumerables embarcaciones para todos los puertos del Cantábrico. Se ubica en la nave central del Museo, donde se ha reconstruido el casetón de un astillero, formado con elementos auténticos de antiguos talleres: herramientas, plantillas, gálibos, vagras, piezas de madera.
Pesca tradicional
El área de Pesca tradicionalestá próxima a la de CarpinterÃa de ribera, compartiendo con ella la nave central, ya que entre ambas existe una obvia relación de complementariedad. Conforma esta sección una gran variedad de artes y aparejos de pesca -redes de abareque, volanta, palangres, caceas, cales, nasas, cedazos, trueles, fisgas, poteras,...-, clasificadas según las especies a capturar, todas del entorno del Mar Cantábrico -bonito, congrio, lubina, xarda, palometa, merluza, besugo, pulpo, angula...
Historia de la navegación
La sección de Historia de la navegación ocupa la segunda planta y en ella se hace un recorrido por la evolución de la tipologÃa de los buques, con la exhibición de casi un centenar de maquetas elaboradas con todo detalle. Desde la remota Antigüedad hasta la actualidad, se pueden ver barcos egipcios, fenicios, griegos, romanos, vikingos, que dan paso al desarrollo de la vela con la carabela portuguesa, el galeón español, los espectaculares navÃos de gran aparejo y los rápidos clipers, para desembocar en los barcos de vapor y después en los de motor.
Castilleja integrifolia, dendritica form, Langenheim 3029, UC Herbarium.
This is possibly an undescribed variety of the widespread C. integrifolia. These specimens are from the Andes of Colombia and are different from the nominate form in having a pubescence of strongly branched (dendritic) hairs, unlike the undivided hairs typical of all other forms of C. integrifolia.
Many signs of spring. Redbuds and peaches blooming, wild verbenas too and the willows are leafed out. I so love spring.
this is on the light one near the garage, new growth on it too. Watered last month since no rain.
A plant called "Brassica oleraceae var. sabellica".

John P. Bane, at age twenty-six, formed the Guadalupe (County) Rangers in Seguin and became their first captain. They reported for duty on July 4, 1861, at Camp Clar, a training center on the San Marcos River, and were mustered in on July 27, 1861. After a brief training period they gathered at Houston before going to Virginia, where they became Company D, Fourth Texas Infantry.
Bane was present at the battles of Eltham's Landing, Seven Pines, and Gaines' Mill. He received an arm wound in the last battle and was absent from the unit's next five encounters. He again saw action at Gettysburg, where he took command of the Fourth Texas after Col. John C. G. Key was wounded. Some weeks later Key resumed command, but he apparently never became completely well.
Bane again assumed command of the Fourth Texas in the spring of 1864, before the opening of the Wilderness Campaign. Confederate records indicate that he returned to Texas in the summer of 1864 for recruiting purposes and was there when the war ended. He signed a document in San Antonio on August 25, 1865, listing his home as Guadalupe County, Texas.

Pétanque is a form of boules where the goal is to throw metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet or jack. The game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel, but can also be played on grass, sand or other surfaces.
The nearest UK equivalent is crown green bowls, where the boules are rolled rather than thrown.
Founded (and most commonly played) in France, pétanque is also popular throughout many parts of Spain. This organised game was taking place in the coastal Costa Blancan town of El Campello, near to Alicante.

New Mexico has been been in a major drought situation for more than five years.
To see thunderheads like this forming in the afternoon is a major event!
We have finally been getting rain on a regular basis for the past week and I can smell the aroma of the pinon trees in the air.
We actually refer to this as Monsoon Season!

This is the form "lid" showing the layers that make up the rough parabolic shape. Since this is a negative mold, the parabola bulges out, not in. In order to reduce the amount of material removed during the turning process, a very rough parabolic shape was constructed with layers of material. Look closely at the top edge on the left side: I have added a parabolic curve to demonstrate where the actual surface will be once the cutting process is finished.
This doll was a gift for my boyfriend.
It is the cat form of a druid, from world of Warcraft (a game). It was made in incredible 14 days! I don't know how many hours it took.
About the doll: this is a handmade one of a kind ball jointed doll, entirely made from scratch of cold porcelain. The doll is made of purple clay and has some airbrushing and painted details. The eyes and the stones of the collar are handpainted glass cabochons and both glow in the dark. The rest of the collar and the bracelets are made from craft foam, and the bracelets has golden details made with 3d paint. And it also has some faux fur. The mark on it's back is made of clay but painted with a transparent ink that glows under UV light. Felt was used on some joints to protect the painting from scratch.

It is hard to find pictures of this character!
The story: I was suffering to find a gift for my boyfriend to celebrate our dating anniversary. I had no ideas... After some long time thinking, I decided to make a doll for him. I never made him one before XD The idea was to have something to distract the mind when he wasn't being able to solve a problem while working, something to relax, to play. Then, there was a problem: which doll to make? Which character or whatever? More days thinking. I remember seeing he plays WoW, and that there was a druid that could transform itself in other critters, being a panther like the one I saw more frequently. That was called the cat form, even it looking like a big wild feline. More and more days passed thinking on which kind of doll to make. Chibi? Standard? Deluxe?! Chibi was not very poseable, so next. Deluxe was too hard and there wasn't enough time to finish. Standard was the chosen one. I was going to follow a cute style as well. But I wasn't being able to imagine how the doll would look, I couldn't draw it.... the time was passing.... How to make the open mouth? The accessories? Wow, and if I make the eyes and the collar, and that mark on the back glows like in the game? But how?? Well, Happens that there was only 14 days left to the dating anniversary and I started to freak out! So I just had to start even not knowing that the hell I was going to do and how! Sculpting like crazy XD The eyes needed 4 or five attempts, and paints and adhesives to find something that work fine to glow in the dark. I found a nail polish that glows under UV lamp for the marking at the back. But my boyfriend didn't have a UV light. So I discovered a tiny laser pen like thing that was originally made to check if money is real or not. The thing had a UV led. Bought it. In the middle of the craziness my boyfriend asked me if I was going to give him a coffee maker (espresso one). And I was like "crap! I forgot he want one of those!! XD" but I said it was indeed what I was going to give him, just to surprise in the end. Back to work, I wake up very early and laid down very late all days working on the doll. Go out to buy all the supplies, and still have to hide everything when he came to my place! He stays at my place like Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So, many days I couldn't work of the very few I already had when started! T___T Finished the sculpting process like crazy, still remade 4 pieces. Then I decided to airbrush the doll, you know, because weren't enough stress already. And when airbrushing, I had to cover every claw and the nose, and the pawpads, because those were in the correct color already................. I bought a latex mask (not sure if it is the word) for watercolor and it thank goddess worked!! But oh, soooo much work to cover all those tiny tiny things... And then after airbrushing and removing the mask, there was a gap around all the claws (the latex ran a bit..) and I needed to mask everything again, airbrush again..... Then paint all the little details. Seal everything, make all the accessories, glue all the faux fur.... Also, had to glue something on the joints to avoid scratching the paint. I found a felt - no kidding - that was exactly the same color as the light purple on the doll! Couldn't be better. I think you can barely see it on the pictures. Well, I still have to find a package for it. I wanted a treasure chest, but couldn't find one that suits. So I bought a plastic box similar to the ones I use, but with a funny shape. I designed the labels, with pictures from the game an all. Made the little drawstring bag, that I find on the stuffs I have since many years a blue stone that looks very "WoW" to use on the strings. I was literally finishing it in the day I had to give it to my boyfriend XD But not enough, I decided to fake it was the coffee maker. So I've found a box that had a good size, made fake labels (made very funny drawings, with "memes" and such, by hand with a black pen over craft paper), covered the box, put some rice bags inside to make it weight like a coffee maker, put the doll inside, and wrapped everything with gift wrapping paper. All packaged, it was a coffee maker! So I give it for him. And when he started to open and seeing the fake labels, his face was just like "WTF??!!" and while he was opening, removing lots of bubble wrapping, paper, and... rice bags, he was getting more and more confused, and I couldn't stop laughing! Until he finally found the little box (that was also wrapped in gift paper), opened and discovered the little doll inside, with a letter on which I told all the story you are also reading, but more detailed, and some cute things (by the way I had to write that letter, that has 2 or three pages too in this amount of time!). He got very touched I pass through all that to make a doll for him, and totally surprised because he never guessed what I was up to. In the end, beautiful doll, happy boyfriend, mission accomplished! XD Of course it isn't allll perfect as my dolls usually are. There are very small flaws that maybe just I and few people (my boyfriend isn't one of them) can see. But he is very different, and very detailed, and I am very very proud of this little guy!
Well, I hope you like my "little" adventure! I am glad I survived all of this! I doubt many people would read it anyway, but I decided to share n.n
All of this happened on 2014, months ago, but just now I took the pictures of the doll to show you.

James -
Here are photos of the tornado forming, along with a description of each.
My friend, Nick Lee, is a storm spotter. He and I were out taking these
photos that day. He is the copyright owner and has given me permission to
share them with you.
Dirk
P.S.: Please use the descriptions somehow in your description of the photos.
Description of photos:
Tornado-1: shows the storm coming around the corner into view.
Tornado-2: Inflow notch seen - this is where the air feeding the updraft was
located at.
Tornado-3 & 4: Tornado on ground getting closer to City of Cullman. At this
point it was passing Good Hope and going through Cullman County.
Tornado-5: Here you can see another vortex forming. What we were witnessing
was a rapid intensification of this storm from an EF2 to a multi-vortex EF4.
Tornado-6: Even though the funnel is hard to see, the tornado was still on
the ground. Here you can see the multiple vortexes spinning around the one
in the middle that looks like it is invisible.
Plumeria rubra forma lutea was on the name tag at the time I received this cultivar. Later it's called "Giant Singapore Star" by a collector. Huge flowers!

Down. Le superband formé autour de Phil Anselmo, ancien chanteur de Pantera... Du rugissement en perspective quoi. On a pas été déçu. Oh que non!
They formed part of the original railway bridge, built at this point across the Thames in 1864, when the London Chatham Dover Railway was extended across the Thames to what was then St Paul's Station.
The railway bridge was designed by Joseph Cubitt, who was also redesigning the railway bridge next door, and was a very ornate design. It was only four tracks wide, so just 20 years later, the second railway bridge was built next to it to increase capacity to St Paul's Station.
In 1923, suburban railway services began to terminate at Waterloo and the St Paul's Bridge was rarely used. In 1985, the old bridge was declared too weak to support modern trains, and was removed — but the supports were left. They were used as platforms for equipment in the recent rebuilding of Blackfriars station.
they originally existed in rows of three . The third pillar in each row was absorbed into supporting the new bridge when it was built.
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that can form in the kidneys, and they can be very painful and can cause damage to the kidneys. Here are five steps that can help in preventing kidney stones:
1) Stay hydrated:
Drinking plenty of water is one of the most important things you can do to prevent kidney stones. Water helps to dilute the concentration of minerals and salts in the urine, which can help to prevent the formation of kidney stones. Experts recommend drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water a day.
Staying hydrated is very important for maintaining good health and well-being. Here are some tips to help you stay hydrated:
Drink plenty of water: Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day, and more if you are physically active or in a hot climate.
Eat hydrating foods: Foods such as watermelon, cucumber, and celery contain a lot of water and can help you stay hydrated.
Avoid dehydrating beverages: Limit your intake of alcohol, coffee, and sugary drinks, as they can dehydrate you.
Set reminders: Set reminders to drink water throughout the day, especially if you are prone to forgetting.
Carry a water bottle: Carry a reusable water bottle with you so that you can easily refill it throughout the day.
Remember, staying hydrated is crucial for good health, so make it a priority in your daily routine.
2) Eat a balanced diet:
A diet that is high in sodium, animal protein, and sugar can increase the risk of developing kidney stones. Eating a balanced diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables, and low in animal protein and sodium, can help to reduce the risk of kidney stones. Experts also recommend reducing the intake of oxalate-rich foods, such as spinach, rhubarb, and chocolate.
Eating a balanced diet is important for maintaining good health and well-being. Here are some general guidelines for achieving a balanced diet:
Include a variety of food groups: To get all the essential nutrients your body needs, aim to include a variety of food groups in your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats.
Focus on whole foods: Try to prioritize whole, minimally processed foods over highly processed options, as they tend to be more nutrient-dense and better for your overall health.
Get enough protein: Protein is important for building and repairing tissues in the body, so make sure to include sources of protein in your diet such as lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, legumes, and nuts.
Choose healthy fats: Include sources of healthy fats in your diet such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish, which can help to lower inflammation and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Limit added sugars and salt: Too much added sugar and salt in your diet can increase the risk of chronic diseases, so try to limit your intake of sugary drinks, snacks, and processed foods.
Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water is important for maintaining good health, so make sure to stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking water or other low-sugar beverages.
Remember that everyone's dietary needs may differ based on their age, gender, activity level, and health status. Consulting a healthcare professional or registered dietitian can help you determine what a balanced diet looks like for you.
3) Limit alcohol and caffeine:
Consuming too much alcohol and caffeine can increase the risk of kidney stones. Alcohol and caffeine can dehydrate the body, which can make the urine more concentrated and increase the risk of stone formation. Experts recommend limiting alcohol and caffeine intake to reduce the risk of kidney stones.
Limiting alcohol and caffeine can have health benefits and help you feel your best. Here's some information on how to do so:
Limit alcohol intake: Drinking too much alcohol can have negative effects on your health, such as increasing the risk of liver disease, certain cancers, and mental health problems. If you choose to drink alcohol, it is recommended to limit your intake. For men, it's recommended to have no more than two drinks per day, and for women, no more than one drink per day.
Reduce caffeine intake: While moderate caffeine intake is generally considered safe for most people, consuming too much caffeine can cause negative effects like anxiety, irritability, and sleep disturbances. To reduce your caffeine intake, consider swapping out some of your caffeinated beverages for decaffeinated options, and avoid consuming caffeine close to bedtime to prevent sleep disturbances.
Be mindful of hidden sources: Many beverages and foods contain caffeine or alcohol, even if they don't taste like it. Be mindful of these hidden sources and pay attention to how much you're consuming.
Overall, it's important to listen to your body and be mindful of how much alcohol and caffeine you're consuming. If you're concerned about your intake, or if you're experiencing negative effects from consuming these substances, consider talking to your healthcare provider or a mental health professional for guidance.
4) Exercise regularly:
Regular exercise can help to reduce the risk of kidney stones by helping to maintain a healthy weight and reducing the risk of obesity. Obesity is a risk factor for kidney stones, and maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise can help to reduce this risk.
Regular exercise is essential for maintaining good health and well-being. Here are some benefits of regular exercise:
Improved physical fitness: Exercise can help you build and maintain muscle, increase cardiovascular health, and improve flexibility and balance.
Weight management: Regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight or lose weight if necessary.
Reduced risk of chronic diseases: Exercise can lower the risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
Improved mental health: Exercise is known to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and improve overall mood.
Better sleep: Regular exercise can improve the quality and duration of sleep.
To reap these benefits, it's recommended that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week, plus muscle-strengthening activities at least two days per week. It's also important to choose activities that you enjoy and to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine whenever possible, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator or going for a walk during your lunch break.
5) Take medications as prescribed:
If you have a medical condition that increases your risk of kidney stones, such as hypercalciuria or cystinuria, your doctor may prescribe medications to help prevent the formation of kidney stones. It's important to take these medications as prescribed and to follow your doctor's recommendations for preventing kidney stones.
Taking medications as prescribed is essential for getting the maximum benefit from them and for avoiding potential health risks. Here are some reasons why it's important to take medications as prescribed:
Effective treatment: Medications are designed to treat specific conditions or symptoms. Taking them as prescribed ensures that you are getting the full therapeutic effect.
Safety: Taking medications as prescribed can help prevent adverse effects or complications. It's important to follow instructions such as not mixing medications that may interact with each other or taking certain medications with food.
Consistent blood levels: Many medications need to be taken consistently to maintain consistent levels in the bloodstream for effective treatment.
Avoid drug resistance: Taking medications as prescribed can help prevent the development of drug resistance. In some cases, taking less medication than prescribed can lead to drug resistance and treatment failure.
To take medications as prescribed, it's important to follow the instructions given by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Make sure to understand how often and when to take the medication, what to do if you miss a dose, and what side effects to watch for. If you have any questions or concerns about your medications, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist. It's also important to keep a list of all the medications you are taking and to inform your healthcare provider of any changes to your medication regimen.
Overall, preventing kidney stones requires a combination of lifestyle changes and medical management, if necessary. By following these steps, you can help to reduce your risk of developing kidney stones and promote better kidney health.
